The Blue Amber Blog

Another year, another show.

The past year has been eventful for the Dominican amber world.

In October the extra-tropical storm system Noel hit the island and caused major flooding. (A few videos on the subject… the flooding and the people and their plight…)

The amber mines were also affected, yet not so dramatically. The holes filled with water and for several weeks no amber could be mined. Miners took this and the closing days of the year to relax.

For 2008 would start with a main event.

It is time for the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, (see a map) and Blue Amber will be present for the very first time! For anyone in the Arizona area and the many visiting the city of Tucson when it turns from a sleepy old pueblo at the foot of the Catalinas into the world’s biggest gem show, this is the moment to see Blue Amber.

We will be in the main show area at the Tucson Convention Center Arena on Feb 14^th to 17th, Booth 21E. You are cordially invited to look us up and check out the Beauty of Blue Amber with your own eyes.

Here are a few specimens and pieces we will have on display:

• A few high-grade pendant sets, like this one or this one.
• The Blue Mountain — one of the largest specimens found in recent years
• A few samples of selected Blue Amber Jewelry
• The controversial Bee-or-Wasp Nest
• And much, much more!

Also we will of course personally be present to field your questions and help you to learn more about the beauty that is Blue Amber.

For those who can’t make it, you can keep track of us on the show on this blog as well as the video entries we will make on blueamberchannel.com.

See you on the show!
